Hi. Thanks for visiting my portfolio site!
I am a graphic designer and artist at heart with many years experience in branding, marketing, and management. In 2014, I decided to leave my corporate life, and focus on freelance design full-time. Since then, I've been working with several clients on a variety of projects ranging from website development to painting murals, and have recently started working on commissioned drawings and paintings.
Before starting "Grove Design + Marketing," I spent six years as a founding member of a clean-tech start-up company called Tremont Electric. We developed and launched the nPower technology, which converts energy generated from movement into electrical power. As VP of Marketing, my responsibilities included:
- Managed product launches
- Developed and executed marketing plan
- Conducted market research studies
- Developed and presented investor pitches
- Led public relations efforts
- Created all print and digital marketing pieces
- Assisted with sales and customer service
I also have 13 years of design and marketing experience with an international, household electronics company where I developed and launched new products, including a disruptive technology that's used to administer insulin to diabetic pets without a needle. I am also the founder and original editor of Mode, a magazine for women in direct sales.
Out of college, I had the opportunity to work with the art directors at Walt Disney in the design and development of Disney-licensed products.
I have a B.A. with a major in Visual Communication and Design from Purdue University (–Boiler Up!), and an M.S. in Management from Indiana Wesleyan University.
